She’s on a roll…

    Honestly, I thought she could convert her reputation into some bigger campaign or initiative. Just joining in as a regular person is encouraging to others on her side and brings attention but wastes her potential.

      I don’t really know if there is anything else a teenager can really do. An influential teen or person in their early 20s doesn’t really have a lot to offer a climate change org other than their influence.

      They don’t have the know how of someone who’s actually worked in the org, they don’t have experience to set up an org, they aren’t going to be coming up with an actual plan. Their value to any organization is just going to be as an influencer.

        She is bigger than any of us in this thread and no doubt faced more big media-persons and advocates for right things than we did. Some of them could help her, navigate her, or she could use her connection to them to make an impact.

        I can’t criticize her from my pov, but imho she does a private’s job as an established officer, or even commander.

        She is, for some years, the icon of eco themes. She is the household name to bring the breed of new activists and more intiatives.

        But I’m kind of worried if she got exhausted by what attention she got, offences, death-threats. That causing her defaulting to be just a regular person in the protest, the thing she’s used to do. Thus, limiting her reach.
